Friday NCAA

[xerri]

starting with Texas -11.5
A&M has no running game and McNeal is doubtful at QB. They will miss his mobility against the Texas defense. Aggies' defense is nowhere near as good as in the past. Texas has a great defense and good balance on offense. Think they will force Long into some tough situations and can force some INT's. Like Texas to get an easy win here.

down to 10- at olympic if u wanna add 2 it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OKD]

Texas has no running game either. They couldn't even break the 100 yard barrier against a HORRIBLE Texas Tech run defense.

McNeal had only started ONE game this year, so it's not like Long is starting for the first time.

Arkansas -5.5
LSU's QBs are really struggling and it will not get any easier against a good Arkansas defense. Arkansas is good against the run allowing just 3.1 ypr and I don't think LSU will be able to beat them throwing the ball. LSU's defense has struggled in SEC play after playing an easy schedule early on and Arkansas should score enough to get the cover as I don't see LSU scoring over 13.

Arizona +7
Arizona has the better defense and their offense played their best game of the season last week scoring 52 at Cal. ASU has lost 3 in a row giving up 44 ppg. Arizona could win SU at home in a rivalry game so will take the points.

OKD, I know Long has been playing but he has a low completion percentage and throws a lot of INT's. If Texas stops the run and he is forced into 3rd and long he doesn't have the ability to scramble and make plays like McNeal does. Also just because Texas couldn't run against TT doesn't mean they have no running game. Teams tend to step up their play at home and that was no surprise in a big game for Tech. Just my opinion. GL to you.
